#6 You can use number 6 copper if you wish,you will definitely not overload it or you can figure the wire size by the duty cycle. If your welder has a 100 duty cycle rating use wire good for 52 amps or a number 6. If the duty cycle is 90, multiply the amp draw by .95 x 52 or 49.4 amps or a number 8 wire. These are a few more of the duty cycle multipliers 80 duty cycle(.89) 70 duty cycle(.84) 60 duty cycle(.78)Duty cycle takes in to account that most welders do not weld continously at maximum welder output all the time.

Can you install a 240v outlet for a stick welder near your panel if it has slots available for a circuit breaker?
Yes, you can install a 240V outlet for a stick welder near your panel if there are available slots for a circuit breaker. Be sure to follow local electrical codes, properly size the circuit breaker and wire gauge for the welder's electrical requirements, and consider having a qualified electrician perform the installation to ensure safety and compliance.
How do I wire a single phase 120 amp 230 volt flux and mig welder to a 200 amp panel?
To wire a single-phase 230-volt welder to a 200 amp panel, you will need a dedicated double-pole 40 amp breaker in the panel. Run appropriately sized wires (likely 8 AWG copper) from the breaker to the welding machine, following all local electrical codes and regulations. Make sure to install the necessary grounding and wiring connections as outlined in the welder's manual.
Can a outlet box be mounted to electrical panel?
No, an outlet box cannot be mounted directly to an electrical panel. Electrical panels have specific requirements for clearance and access, and mounting an outlet box to it would violate those safety guidelines. It is recommended to install outlets separately on the wall near the panel if needed.
Wiring circuit for 240V welder with 3 prong plug pulling 6-3 wire do you need to replace welder cable with a 4 lead cable-plug or can you avoid the white lead to wire a 3 prong outlet red-black-green?
For a 240V welder using a 3-prong plug and a 6-3 wire, you can avoid using the white neutral wire at the outlet but it is recommended to install a 4-lead cable and plug for safety reasons. The red and black wires will carry the two hot legs, the green wire is the ground and in a 4-lead cable, the white wire would carry the neutral. If your welder doesn't require a neutral connection, you can cap off the white wire in the cable.
When the test button is pressed on a gfci outlet it sparks and trips two breakers in the main panel What could be the problem?
The sparking and tripping of two breakers in the main panel could indicate a wiring or grounding issue within the GFCI outlet. It's important to have a qualified electrician inspect and repair the outlet to prevent any potential hazards or damage.

How do you install a 120 volt 30 amp outlet. This is for a commercial cotton candy machine?
You find a space in your electric panel that will hold a 30 A breaker. You run 10 gauge wire from the electric panel to where you mount the outlet. You buy a 30 A rated outlet with a receptacle that matches the cotton candy machine. Black wire goes to the brass colored screw on the outlet, white wire to silver screw and ground wire to green screw.
